Neighbors are idiots. Everything that goes on goes on behind closed doors - it's not like guys are standing outside trying to lure in children. If people would stop trying to control what other folks do behind closed doors that doesn't impact anyone else, maybe, just maybe, we could lead happier lives.

<i>Code enforcement sent a letter to the owner of the property on June 13 advising that a potential Town Code violation on the property recently came to the Town's attention, namely, that <b>if more than five unrelated persons are living in a single family dwelling, this would be a violation of Section 502 of the Code.</b> </i>

You know, that part of zoning is messed up, because you can have 15 "related" [insert adjective here] or whatever living in a home that's big enough for one person (or two if you REALLY like each other) and I don't give a fark if they ARE related, there should be a maximum-density per square foot dwelling rule. There is NO way that many people can live in a house that small and be hygenic.

Cold_Sassy:DoBeDoBeDo: A Maximum of 5 unrelated whackers per house please!

AFAIK typically it's per bedroom per house. So like 2 related people per bedroom with a maximum of 15 per house or 1 non related per bedroom with a max of 5 per house.

That way large families can live together without a house turning into an apartment complex.

Those types of rules aren't really for public health(even though that's the usual excuse) They're to keep people from setting up brothels and to keep a bunch of people getting together to buy a house(keeping out the riff raff)

• On June 11, the detective performed a "knock and ask" at the property in question. A young man answered the door, was advised why the detective was there

STOP RIGHT THERE.

Hi Mr. Detective, thanks for showing up at my door. You want in? Sorry, I'm currently in the middle of playing video games and don't have time to show you around. I'm happy to comply with any warrants you may have but otherwise, I gotta get back to my raid. Any warrants?

That's what you have to say. There's a great video on youtube by a lawyer who explains exactly why the 5th amendment exists. It's not to help guilty people get away, it's to help innocent people from incriminating themselves. I know this may seem obvious but here in this story is a perfect example. Some guys were doing nothing wrong. Cop shows up at their door and to the best of their knowledge, they are doing absolutely nothing wrong. They have nothing to hide, so let's see what happens:

invited the detective into the home and showed him around. The detective observed the following:

o The detective noted in his report that the number of people at the house was around 9 to 12.

• The detective concluded his investigation and determined that there was insufficient evidence to find a basis for criminal activity.

There was nothing wrong going on. But people were complaining, so let's search obscure laws to see what we can find:

• The detective did refer the comment regarding 9 to 12 persons at the home to code enforcement staff to investigate as a Town Code compliance matter.

• Code enforcement sent a letter to the owner of the property on June 13 advising that a potential Town Code violation on the property recently came to the Town's attention, namely, that if more than five unrelated persons are living in a single family dwelling, this would be a violation of Section 502 of the Code.

That's why you don't talk to the cops. You can only make things worse for yourself. In the youtube video the lawyer asks a lifelong cop if ever in the history of the police he has ever heard a statement from a person that made them less suspicious of them. The answer was no. They are looking for you to incriminate yourself. Anything that might mean you are innocent they ignore.

Nobody noticed a bunch of guys with one huge forearm and 1000 yd. stares? It's difficult to care about offended "neighbors" when they don't even fall into that category. Try turning off the TV and knocking on the door. It's really not that scary or physically demanding.

Aw hell. I'd rather have a brothel next to me than put up with some of my neighbors. At least most everybody at the brothel is having some fun, in comparison to some of the tight ass, sandy vajayjays around my house.
